PL-10, PL-20
FC over SONET/SDH
Beschreibung
The SONET/SDH infrastructure is the perfect transport solution for data center and storage application remote connectivity since it has low latency, reliability, security and guarantees the band width for the user application. The PL-10 & PL-20 enables carriers to the introduction of new added value managed storage services over their existing SONET/SDH networks.
Eigenschaften
- Support uplink rates of OC-3/STM-1 or OC-12/STM-4 mapped over GFP/VCAT with granularity of STS-3c/VC-4, STS-1/VC-3 or VT1.5/VC-12
- Uplinks use the next generation GFP/VCAT/LCAS standard mapping over SONET/SDH
- Utilizes Buffer to Buffer credit mechanism to avoid FC throughput degradation over distance
- Optional redundant power for carrier grade reliability
- Remote management via in band or out band access
- FC native fault management and performance monitoring
- SONET/SDH fault management and performance monitoring
- Simple installation, operation and maintenance
- Friendly Web GUI and support for SNMP management interface
- Rate limiting without packet loss
- Buffer credit flow control
- Sonet/SDH performance monitoring
- Fibre Channel native performance monitoring
- Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optics
- Advanced control plane and management tools
Anwendung
- Managed Storage (Fibre Chanel) connectivity services provided by carriers
- Interconnection of data centers over existing SONET/SDH infrastructure
- High FC throughput over long distances DWDM networks – 3200Km
- Interconnection between DRP (Disaster Recovery) and BC (Business Continuity) sites
- Enables high speed (up to 622 Mbps) connectivity layer for synchronous or asynchronous backup, mirroring and simultaneous data replication for multiple applications
- Multiplexing of data and storage over a single wavelength and DWDM networks
